Centaurus A orNGC 5128 is a prominent galaxy in theconstellationofCentaurus. It

was discovered in 1826 byScottishastronomerJames Dunlopfrom his home inParramatta, in New South Wales, Australia. There is considerable debate in the

literature regarding the galaxy's fundamental properties such as itsHubble type

(lenticular galaxyor agiant elliptical galaxy)[7]and distance (10-16 millionlight-

years).[2][3][4][5][6]NGC 5128 is one of the closestradio galaxiesto Earth, so itsactive

galactic nucleushas been extensively studied by professional astronomers.[11]The

galaxy is also the fifth brightest in the sky,[11]making it an ideal amateur astronomy

target,[12]although the galaxy is only visible from low northern latitudes and the

southern hemisphere.

The center of the galaxy contains asupermassive black holewith a weight equivalent to

55 million solar masses,[13]which ejects arelativistic jetthat is responsible for

emissions in theX-rayandradiowavelengths. By taking radio observations of the jet

separated by a decade, astronomers have determined that the inner parts of the jet are

moving at about one half of thespeed of light. X-rays are produced farther out as the jet

collides with surrounding gases resulting in the creation of highly energetic particles.

The radio jets of Centaurus A are over a million light years long.[14]

Like otherstarburst galaxies, a collision is suspected to be responsible for the intense

burst of star formation.Spitzer Space Telescopestudies have confirmed that Centaurus

A is colliding with and devouring a smaller spiral galaxy.[citation needed]

Morphology

Centaurus A may be described as having apeculiarmorphology. As seen from Earth,

the galaxy looks like alenticularorelliptical galaxywith a superimposed dust lane.[15]

The peculiarity of this galaxy was first identified in 1847 byJohn Herschel, and the

galaxy was included in theAtl as of Peculi ar Galaxies(published in 1966) as one of the

best examples of a "disturbed" galaxy with dust absorption.[16]The galaxy's strange

morphology is generally recognized as the result of amergerbetween two smaller

galaxies.[17]

The bulge of this galaxy is composed mainly of evolved red stars.[15]The dusty disk,

however, has been the site of more recentstar formation;[11]over 100 star formation

regions have been identified in the disk.[18]

Supernova

Onesupernovahas been detected in Centaurus A.[19]The supernova, namedSN 1986G,

was discovered within the dark dust lane of the galaxy byR. Evansin 1986.[20]It was

later identified as atype Ia supernova,[21]which forms when awhite dwarf's mass grows

large enough to ignite carbon fusion in its center, touching off arunawaythermonuclear

reaction, as may happen when a white dwarf in abinary starsystem strips gas away

from the other star. SN 1986G was used to demonstrate that the spectra of type Ia

supernovae are not all identical, and that type Ia supernovae may differ in the way thatthey change in brightness over time.[21]

Distance

Distance estimates to NGC 5128 established since the 1980s typically range between 3-

5 Mpc.[2][3][4][5][6][22]Classical Cepheidsdiscovered in the heavily-obscured dust lane of

NGC 5128 yield a distance between ~3-3.5 Mpc, depending on the nature of the

extinction law adopted and other considerations.[4][5]Mira variables[22]andType II

Cepheids[4][5]were also discovered in NGC 5128, the latter being rarely detected beyond

local group.[23]The distance to NGC 5128 established from several indicators such as

Mira variablesandplanetary nebulaefavour a more distant value of ~3.8 Mpc.[7][6]

Nearby galaxies and galaxy group information

Centaurus A is at the center of one of two subgroups within theCentaurus A/M83

Group, a nearbygroup of galaxies.[24]Messier 83(the Southern Pinwheel Galaxy) is at

the center of the other subgroup. These two groups are sometimes identified as one

group[25][26]and sometimes identified as two groups.[27]However, the galaxies around

Centaurus A and the galaxies around M83 are physically close to each other, and both

subgroups appear not to be moving relative to each other.[28]The Centaurus A/M83

Group is located in theVirgo Supercluster.

Amateur astronomy information

Centaurus A is located approximately 4 north ofOmega Centauri(aglobular cluster

visible with the naked eye).[12]Because the galaxy has a high surface brightness and

relatively large angular size, it is an ideal target for amateur astronomy observations.

The bright central bulge and dark dust lane are visible even in finderscopes and large

binoculars,[12]and additional structure may be seen in larger telescopes.[12]Centaurus A

is visible to the naked eye under exceptionally good conditions.[29]
